Early the next morning, after breakfast, Fang Yiai was surrounded by Mrs. Fang's attentive instructions, Qingniang's reluctance, Lu Yi's confident smile, and Fang Yize's incomprehensible babbling.
In the middle, Rumo was riding the shiny black Dawan horse gifted by the emperor, Fang Qi was riding the strong horse he had ridden before, and he was carrying a bunch of things that Mrs. Fang had asked the kitchen to prepare before dawn.
With snacks and some bottles and cans prepared by Fang Yiai himself, he rode towards the Golden Light Gate in the west of the city.
"Master, you said that when the emperor went to the mountain paddock in the north, why didn't he go through Fanglin Gate, Jingyao Gate or Gwanghwamun Gate? Why did he take Jinguang Gate? He also had to cross the Shun'an Bridge on the Qing Canal, and then turned north.
Go, take such a long detour, it will take an extra day, right? What do you think the emperor thinks?" Fuasaki muttered, and approached Fang Yiai slyly and asked.
"Are you asking me?" Fang Yiai glared at Fang Qi angrily, holding the horse's reins with one hand and pointing to his nose with the other, "Who am I going to ask! Your young master, I am not the roundworm in the emperor's belly."
"Hey hey hey." Fuasaki laughed dryly. However, considering that the second young master went out alone a few days ago, he looked much more relaxed when he came back. Therefore, Fuasaki very doubted whether the emperor's detour to Shun'an Bridge this time was because of his second young master.
The young master is the one who caused the trouble. So he still looked at his second young master with some suspicion, only to see that his second young master got distracted again because of the question he just asked!
Fuasaki couldn't help complaining that he was talking too much, but he didn't disturb his second young master's distraction. After all, the young master said that being distracted was also a kind of self-rest and adjustment. He quickly crossed the horse and reached out to hold Fang Yiai's hand that was not tightly clenched.
The reins of the horse were used to prevent Fang Yiai's horse from wandering off the reins.
Fortunately, Rumo on Fang Yiai's crotch had been trained a long time ago, and he had spent some time interacting with the horse on Fang Yi's crotch in Fang Fu's stable, so Fang Qi took over the reins and only snorted.
, and there was no excessive reaction.
In fact, Fuasaki's guess was only a small part correct.
This time the emperor left the city from Jinguang Gate and then turned north. Firstly, it was because of the royal dignity. He went out hunting with great fanfare to announce to the people of Chang'an that the assassination incident a few days ago had not had any impact on the royal family and that the emperor was still a hero.
Your Majesty, your Majesty, please stop guessing and just go ahead and do what you have to do.
Secondly, it is also to demonstrate to the envoys of various countries the demeanor of our great country. Look, although there are some lawless people who dare to twist the tiger's beard, our Tang Dynasty, from the emperor to the people, is not afraid, and everyone still has confidence
It’s full and can be easily hunted! This is the confidence and style of my Datang! How dare you, the projectiles?
The third is that Fuchangshe's people have followed Fang Yiai's instructions and successfully led the manor where the assassins gathered to Li Shimin's people without leaving a trace! Moreover, the Zhuangzi where the other party lives happens to be at Shun'an Bridge.
Ten miles away to the west! Because the other party is on tighter guard, and there must be a secret passage on the other side's Zhuangzi, it is difficult for Li Shimin's people to attack by force. In addition, the information collected shows that there should be a small number of people on the other side.
He is not in Zhuangzi, and he may even be the leader!
Therefore, Li Shimin just mobilized manpower to keep an eye on Zhuangzi's every move, and then took the envoys from various countries to visit his imperial village, and then detoured to Shun'an Bridge. The actual purpose was to give the other party a naked letter of challenge! Of course, the other party did not understand.
If so, it can also be considered that Li Shimin was arrogant and wanted to deliberately show off his power to envoys from various countries, and this allowed the other party to find an opportunity to take advantage of him!
After all, if you cross the Shun'an Bridge and then go to the mountain paddock, it will take more than a day if you go quickly. Therefore, Li Shimin will definitely take everyone to rest at the Royal Manor for a night. One night is enough time to arrange, after all,
At the mountain paddock, Commander Jin and several others followed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji there. Sneaking in to set up dangerous situations and set up ambushes was a piece of cake!
"Damn, it makes people swing back and forth between doubt and disbelief, but it also tempts the other person, making them greedy for this opportunity and can't bear to let it go. In the end, they may have to grit their teeth and take the risk to give it a try! It's so sinister!" I want to understand!
Fang Yiai whispered.
Because as long as you are a gambler, you will definitely not let go of a chance to make a comeback! And the remaining troops of King Xi, after three or four years of wandering and struggling, obviously understand that the longer time passes, the more likely they will become.
It is not conducive to rectifying the names of King Xi and His Highness King Qi, so there may not be a gambler's mentality in taking the opportunity to gamble. If you lose, you will be done with it, and you will no longer care about the troubles in the world. If you win, it is possible for the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan to re-assume the throne to restore Li Jiancheng and his family.
Li Yuanji's reputation, by the way, Li Shimin's crimes were reported to the world!
There's just one thing that Fang Yiai doesn't understand. Even if they can successfully kill Li Shimin and restore Li Yuan to the throne, the only heir left is Li Shimin. The heirs of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have all been killed.
, and Li Yuan's sons who were born from concubines are not very qualified, and none of them can take up the important task of Jiangshan Sheji! As for Li Shimin's sons, the three eldest ones are all better. Although Li Tai is a little petty, but
There is no denying that he is talented and can attract scholars and scribes. Therefore, for the stability and longevity of Li Tang's empire, isn't it very likely that Li Yuan's throne in a hundred years will still be of Li Shimin's lineage? Then there can be another overturn of the verdict?
"I don't understand. I really can't understand." Thinking about it made her brain hurt, and Fang Yiai couldn't think of a reason. She shook her head and murmured, and Fang Yiai stopped worrying. After all, she was not that big like herself.
It doesn't matter. Obviously, once the scar is healed and the pain is forgotten, you forget that you may also be included in the must-kill list!
Fang Qi turned his head and looked at Fang Yi's moving lips strangely. He turned his ears and tried hard to hear what the young master was mumbling, but the voice was too low to hear.
Fortunately, the two of them went out early and arrived at Jinguangmen before the onlookers blocked the road.
"This must be the famous Dawan horse that the emperor rewarded. It is indeed a great horse." Cheng Huailiang, who arrived earlier than Fang Yiai, saw Fang Yiai's master and servant coming over. He glanced at Fang Yiai with envy and jealousy, and said
He stared at Fang Yiai's crotch with both admiration and longing.
"Oh, are you so early? Hey, why did you change your horse? Where did Junfeng go? Did you ask Uncle Cheng to collect it?" Fang Yiai, who had only just recovered, nodded in agreement with Cheng Huailiang's words and said hello,
But when he saw that Cheng Huailiang's crotch was not his favorite, he couldn't help but ask strangely.
Cheng Huailiang curled his lips, turned his eyes reluctantly from Ru Mo to Fang Yiai, and said, "Junfeng's horse's hoof is worn out, and he is resting recently, so he has no choice but to change horses."
"A horse's hoof is bruised? How can a horse's hoof be bruised?" Fang Yiai asked strangely.
"Hey!" Qin Huaiyu rode his horse forward, reined in the horse, looked at Cheng Hualiang, who was looking at Fang Yiai with contempt and weirdness, and then looked at the puzzled Fang Yiai, and said, "The horse has been running for a long time.
, or if you run too much on uneven roads, the horse's hooves will be worn. Just like our fingernails, if they are rubbed on uneven things, they will wear through over time and expose the flesh and blood."
"This is common sense! Fortunately, you are riding a fine horse, but you don't even know about this kind of thing?!" Cheng Huailiang added with disdain.
"Huh?" Fang Yiai was stunned. She was about to rush out and ask why she was worried about horseshoes. Then she looked at the cushions on the horses under the buttocks of Cheng Huailiang and Qin Huaiyu, and realized that they were not saddles. Not a saddle? She raised her feet with interest.
, found that there were no stirrups on his feet, and then he suddenly understood that the three-piece suit for horses had not yet appeared in the Tang Dynasty, so he swallowed the words that came to his lips in time.
"Yi Ai is not like you and my father is a military general, so he has been dealing with horses since he was a child. It is normal not to understand these things. What nonsense are you talking about!" He looked at Fang Yi'ai's open mouth and closed it, then frowned and looked at
Qin Huaiyu was worried that Fang Yiai would be in a bad mood because of Cheng Huailiang's words, so he quickly glared at Cheng Huailiang, who was still looking at Ru Mo with envy, and opened his mouth dissatisfied.
said.
Cheng Huailiang raised his eyes and glanced at the pensive Fang Yiai, then waved his hand to Qin Huaiyu and said, "Don't worry about him, this kid is often distracted, he's used to it." He was still looking at Ru Mo self-consciously.
Qin Huaiyu rolled his eyes at Cheng Hualiang angrily, then glanced at Fang Yiai with some worry, and then looked at Fang Qi beside Fang Yiai inquiringly.
Fuasaki glared fiercely at Cheng Hualiang, who had made the young master who had just come back to his senses to be distracted, and then said to Qin Huaiyu with a good attitude, "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, the second young master is indeed distracted from time to time. After a while, he will
It will be fine, no need to call him."
I was thinking about whether I should wait for those evil wolf envoys to leave and put together a three-piece horse set. This would make it easier to teach Qing Niang and Yi Ze to ride horses in the future. I made up my mind and happened to hear Fuasaki's words.
Fang Yiai turned around.
"Second servant, can we discuss this with your elder brother?" Seeing Fang Yiai wake up, Cheng Hualiang, who was opposite him, quickly said with a shy face.
"Change horses?" Fang Yiai raised his eyebrows slightly and opened his mouth to say.
"Is that okay? The speed of this horse is really too slow." Cheng Huailiang complained, raising his hand and patting the neck of the horse under his crotch.
"You don't know the bet between Yiai and Nuerjiang! You even traded horses with him. Didn't you accept the benefits of that bastard Nuerjiang, so you came to trick Yiai?" Qin Huaiyu looked at Cheng Hualiang suspiciously.
, said.
"Anyway, we were the ones who helped him win over the Nurjiang River. Rather than letting my slow horse affect my good archery performance, it would be better to let me ride the good horse." Cheng Huailiang said with a smile on his face, but while speaking,
She looked at Fang Yiai with a guilty conscience. His archery skills were good, but Fang Yiai's archery skills were about to catch up with Changsun Huan, which was more than better than Du He! However, yesterday, Fang Yiai learned archery for the first time.
, Qin Huaiyu didn't know it, so he was deceived by Cheng Hualiang, then he thought for a while, and looked at Fang Yiai with persuasive eyes.
"The price?" Fang Yiai nodded to Qin Huaiyu who was confused, and then glared at Cheng Hualiang, who obviously wanted to ride a horse but chose such a bad excuse, and said directly.
Seeing that Fang Yiai did not expose what he said, Cheng Huailiang reciprocated the favor and said with a smile, "How about giving you half of my prey? Isn't that interesting?"
"Deal." Fang Yiai nodded and said. After all, this was his first time hunting. Although his archery skills were just mediocre, it did not mean that he would be able to hunt prey, so Fang Yiai did not show any pretense and simply got off his horse. With Cheng Huailiang
If you contribute half of the prey, no matter how much, at least you won't go home empty-handed.
